Chapter 291 Dajin can't afford to hurt
…
actually--
There are two voices in the Cai government about Yue Fei's unauthorized war with the Jin army.
One is a sound represented by Chen Gou.
They believed that Yue Fei and his friends encountered the Jin army in Gubeikou, so they took the initiative to defeat the Jin army. They should reward Yue Fei and other soldiers who have made military achievements.
The other is the sound made by Li Gang.
They believe that Yue Fei went to war without authorization, which destroyed the harmonious relationship between Yanyun and Linbang. He should not be rewarded or punished. Otherwise, Linbang would not be able to explain it, which may cause border problems. Yanyun has not yet completely recovered and has no external troubles and needs to rest and recuperate.
In the end, Cai still chose to support Chen Gou and promoted Yue Fei and other meritorious soldiers.
Of course, Cai still did not deny Li Gang and others to the end.
Cai still adopted Li Guang's suggestion and sent Zhang Yan and Zhang Teng, the former Liao envoy who had just returned from the Jin Dynasty, to accompany Hu Yanqing to the Jin Dynasty again.
Before leaving, Cai still said to Hu Yanqing: "You are going to the Jurchens this time. First, for this misunderstanding, I apologize to Wanyan Aguda for me. Second, I will ask Wanyan Aguda for me, why their army appeared in Gubeikou, and let Wanyan Aguda give me a reasonable explanation."
Seeing that Cai was still so tough, Li Gang and others repeatedly persuaded Cai to be cautious and not force Dajin to start a war with Yan Yun.
Cai still knew that Li Gang and others made sense when they said it, but if they were not willing to bear it, they would make a big plan.
But Cai still believes that Hu people are all wolves. If you are weak, they will be strong, and if you are strong, they will be weak.
Therefore, it is useless to just reason with the Hu people. When dealing with them, you must first hurt them. If you have the conditions, it is best to kill them directly, conquer them completely, and then talk to them slowly.
Based on this, Tsai still resisted the opposition and implemented a tough foreign policy to the Jin Dynasty.
...
Hu Yanqing and his group left Yandi and headed straight for Bei'anzhou.
When they arrived in Bei'anzhou, Zhang Yan and the Jin army guarding the pass explained that they were Yan Yun's envoys and were ordered to go to the Dajin envoy.
Afterwards, Hu Yanqing and his group were invited by the Jin people to rest in the inn.
In the evening, Gao Qingren, the group of Hu Yanqing and his party were welcomed into the city.
The next morning, Wanyan Aguda's cousin Wanyan Pu's family vultures formal negotiations on behalf of Dajin and the Cai Shang government represented by Hu Yanqing.
Wanyan Pu’s family slaves took the initiative and said, “Why did your Jinwu army attack our Dajin army for no reason? I hope you can give us Dajin a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, my Dajin 500,000 warriors will go south soon and find your champion to seek justice.”
Hu Yanqing said: "My Jinwu army has never been defeated since its war, so we are not afraid of any battles. However, my marquis always believed that force is not the best way to solve the problem, so he sent me here to talk to your family about a plan that both sides can accept."
Wanyan Pu’s servant narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Since the envoy’s words, are you Jinwu Army not afraid of fighting with our Dajin?”
Hu Yanqing said: "My marquis does not want to use war to solve problems, but my marquis is never afraid of any war."
When Wanyan Pu’s slave heard the words, his face suddenly became ugly, and he wanted to leave with a swaying sleeve.
After suppressing and suppressing, Wanyan Pu's slave said coldly: "I will tell my emperor truthfully about the attitude of your envoy and your marquis. So now, please explain why your Jinwu army attacked our Dajin army?"
Hu Yanqing said: "Before I answer your question, please answer me first, why did your army appear in our Gubeikou and attack our Gubeikou?"
Wanyan Pu’s slave said: “Gubeikou was originally a territory of the Khitan. It was previously a territory of the Xi people, not the land of the Han people. It was occupied by this dynasty. What’s wrong with our Dajin army appearing in Gubeikou?”
Hu Yanqing said, "The Khitan was destroyed by my marquis. The original territory of the Khitan should naturally belong to my marquis. Moreover, when my marquis captured Yanjing, why did you suddenly attack Gubeikou? But you wanted to take advantage of our Jinwu army to sneak attack our Jinwu army?"
Wanyan Pu's slave snorted coldly and said, "Just, without me, Dajin, from the north to the south, how could your Jinwu army have the opportunity to take the land of Yanyun? Don't forget to dig the wells when eating water! As for the destruction of the Khitan, it is even more nonsense. Ashi people are still in the mountains, and the Khitan has not yet completely destroyed, so how could it be destroyed by your marquis? What your marquis destroyed is just a pseudo-Liao regime. Our Dajin and Dasong have never recognized the regime of Yelu Chun. As for sending troops to Gubeikou without saying hello, although there is no need to explain it to you, in the friendly sincerity, I will say to you that our Dajin did not know that your marquis was attacking Yanjing, and Yanjing was still a masterless city at that time. If your marquis took it, my emperor could not take it?"
Wanyan Pu's slave said again: "In addition, your marquis have obviously captured Ashi, why did you release Ashi again? Whether your marquis has formed an alliance with Ashi, please tell me the truth."
Hu Yanqing did not bother with the destruction of Liao. First, Wanyan Pu's slaves were right. Yelu Yanxi was not dead yet, so the Liao Kingdom had not been destroyed. Second, it was not important whether the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Cai government, so there was no need to keep an eye on this matter. Therefore, Hu Yanqing went beyond the destruction of Liao and said, "I can clearly tell the king that our marquis has not formed an alliance with the old master of Liao, but this does not mean that our marquis will not form an alliance with the old master of Liao. All of this depends on your family's attitude."
Hu Yanqing said again: "As for the two conflicts between our two families, I think it should be a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding arises because of the unclear boundaries between our two sides."
Wanyan Pu's slave said without comment: "But I, Dajin, did kill and injured nearly 10,000 warriors."
Hu Yanqing said: "For this misunderstanding arising from unclear borders, on behalf of my marquis, I express my heavy condolences to the dead warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom. In addition, in order to avoid another similar incident, I believe that both of us should mark the borders as soon as possible, and then each restrains the army from crossing the boundary..."
good.
This is Hu Yanqing's real purpose in coming to Bei'anzhou - to clarify the boundaries.
In other words, the Cai government actually wanted to truce with the Dajin government and then concentrate on regaining the three prefectures of Yandi and Pingluanying.
but--
This is just the unilateral idea of the Cai Shang government...
...
While Wanyan Pu’s family slave negotiated with Hu Yanqing.
Wanyan Aguda was in the big tent.
Ma Kuo and Wang Huan are also lobbying Wanyan Agu to attack Cai Jian.
Wang Huan said: "Before I came, the official and Tong Xuanfu specifically told me that as long as the Dajin sent troops to help us quell the Caishang Rebellion, recover Yanjing and the prefectures under its jurisdiction, and the three prefectures under its jurisdiction, the annual monies are easy to discuss."
Ma Kuo said: "Champion Hou Tianzong is a genius, powerful and unyielding. He has the style of Han Wu, Tang Zong, and the ambition of Han Wu, Tang Zong. If it is in a chaotic world, he must be a great hero who swept across the world. But now it is not a chaotic world. The people of our Song Dynasty live and work in peace, and the people of your Jin Dynasty are also resting and recuperating. The society has settled down, so we don't need a great hero like Champion Hou."
Wang Huan also said: "Our official family is a kind-hearted person. He sent troops to recover Yanjing just to fulfill his ancestor's wishes. He has no intention of expanding the outside world, and is a big-hearted person and never cares about it. He is a rare good neighbor. However, the champion Hou is different. He is a sharp sword that is unsheathed. Everyone must surrender wherever he passes. If you are neighbors with the champion Hou, you must not be able to rub against it, and it may turn into a war. You have also seen the arrogance of the Jinwu Army. If you don't say a word, you will take the initiative to start a war. The warlike nature can be seen. Therefore, the champion Hou who has freed up his hands and feet in the future may be imitated by Hanwu and Emperor Tang, and send troops to your Dajin to force you to surrender completely."
“…”
“…”
...
night.
Ma Kuo and Wang Huan, who had been fighting Wanyan Agu for a long time, left, and Wanyan Pu's slaves also arranged the envoys sent by Hu Yanqing, Zhang Yan, and Zhang just waited for Cai Shen to arrange the envoys.
Wanyan Aguda gathered a group of senior officials of Dajin into his own tent.
Looking around, seeing that almost everyone was here, Wanyan Aguda said, "Tell me, how should we Dajin get along with Cai Jian, and how should we reply to the request of Dasong to attack Cai Jian?"
Wanyan Cibushi is Wanyan Aguda's cousin, with the highest seniority and one of the five members of the Standing Committee, so he first said: "Eight years have passed since he vowed to the south. In these eight years, we have been fighting. The warriors of each division are tired and it is time to rest. Now, our Dajin accounts for three-fifths of the land of the Khitan, including the capital of the Khitan, and it should be satisfied. The rest should be to recuperate and reproduce, rather than continue to fight. Therefore, I think it is time to make peace with Cai."
Wanyan Xie also said in a deep voice: "Our warriors of Dajin do need to rest, and it is right to rest and reproduce and grow. But our neighbors of Dajin must not be Cai Gan. This person is arrogant and does not give in. If he is with him, he will be in trouble. We cannot leave endless troubles because of greed for a moment."
Wanyan Ci retorted: "Requesting annual monies is indeed not the basis for harmonious coexistence. The reason why our warriors fought with the Jinwu army was caused by our insatiable greed. If we did not covet Yanyun's population and wealth, how could those two battles happen? The Han people have never liked the bitter and cold land of our Northeast. Therefore, as long as we do not take the initiative to provoke them, they will not come out of seclusion and attack us."
Wanyan Zongwang said: "The reason why the Khitan is so rich is because they occupy the Han territory and receive a lot of money and silk every year. If I don't want to be poor, I will definitely be the same as the Khitan."
Wanyan Ci said: "Can hundreds of thousands of taels of money and silk be able to make our Dajin prosperous every year? I think the reason why the Khitan is so rich is mainly because of trade with the Central Plains, and Cai has agreed that as long as the two countries truce, a deliberation will be opened on the border. Therefore, if we still maintain a good relationship with Cai, our Dajin will definitely be as rich as the Khitan."
Wanyan Zongwang sneered: "All of them are under the hands of others and are limited by others. Our Dajin will become Cai Shen's subordinates in a few years. We fought for eight years and died tens of thousands of warriors. This is not the case."
Wanyan Zonggan Road: "What the second prince said is right, and Cai still has to collect taxes in the court. This is completely despising our Dajin."
Wanyan Ci turned his head to Wanyan Pu’s slave and asked, “How can Cai’s envoy explain this?”
Wanyan Pu’s slave replied: “Hu Yanqing said that they would build a special venue and provide special services, so they collected certain taxes. Hu Yanqing also said that this would last for a long time and show their sincerity.”
Wanyan Cibodu listened and looked at Wanyan Aguda and said, "I think Cai Shen's approach is fine."
Wanyan Zonggan said, "But uncle, you cannot deny that in this way, our Dajin will be completely passive. By then, Cai will be happy, this deliberation can be opened, and Cai will be unhappy, this deliberation will be closed, and our Dajin will be powerless to do anything about it."
Wanyan Cibushi did not refute this time because the fact is indeed the case.
Wanyan Zonggan looked at Wanyan Aguda and said, "If Cai still wants to form an alliance with our Dajin, he must give the three prefectures of Pingluanying to our Dajin, and let our Dajin garrison in Songting Pass and Yuguan."
Wanyan Zonggan’s proposal received everyone’s response:
"Yes, if our Dajin occupied the three prefectures of Pingluanying, Cai would still dare to unilaterally close the market. Our Dajin army could threaten Yanjing at any time."
"With the three prefectures of Pingluanying, our army of Dajin can still go south at any time. Even if Cai still doesn't trade with our Dajin, we can still trade with Dajin."
"The Central Plains are rich, and our Dajin cannot cut off the contact channels with the Central Plains. Therefore, our Dajin is bound to win the Pingluanying three prefectures!"
“…”
After hearing the discussions of everyone, Wanyan said leisurely: "You know the importance of the three prefectures of Pingluanying. Don't Cai Shen know? Do you think Cai will give the three prefectures of Pingluanying to our Dajin?"
After hearing Wanyan Ci's words, everyone remained silent because the answer was obvious.
After a while, Wanyan Zongwang said: "If Cai still doesn't give it to you, we won't form an alliance with Cai still. Now the Song Dynasty is afraid that Cai still plans to usurp the throne, so we are begging us to form an alliance. As long as we help Song Dynasty solve Cai Lan, I think they are willing to give everything."
Wanyan Ci Bushu looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "You are right, but the problem is, is Cai still so easy to solve? Nianhan and Jamu have both fought with the Jinwu army, what is the result?"
Wanyan Zonghan was silent for a while and said, "The Jinwu Army is indeed a powerful army in the world. All the soldiers are not afraid of death. The weapons are sharp and they are not easy to deal with."
Wanyan Xie also said: "The key is to enforce orders. The obedience of the Jinwu Army is only seen in my life. Even I, the Jurchen warriors, cannot do that. I think we will not have any advantage in fighting with the same force."
Wanyan Xie is also the number one coach in the Jin Dynasty. He even commented on the Jinwu Army this way, and immediately exterminated the idea of many people who wanted to use force.
Without it, the big gold cannot be damaged.
You know, Dajin actually has not many people in total. If you want to talk about it, it will only be 200,000 to 300,000.
In this case, if Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Jiemu suffer a few more defeats, then the Jin Dynasty, which is not stable, may be in danger of destruction of the country.
For a moment, everyone in the tent remained silent.
After a while, Wanyan Aguda, who had not spoken, said leisurely: "You guys, many times, force is not the only way to solve the problem."
Seeing Wanyan Aguda seemingly ready to hold on, everyone is excited!
Wanyan Aguda Yingmo has made every strategy in a few years. Since he is so confident, how can he not let them be full of expectations?
